100 meter nanotube composite fibers
This is more believable than the prior Chinese researcher's claim for 30 cm long fibers, since they use yield energy as a comparison with other materials. Maybe it's a language barrier, or maybe it's hype. But the increased length of the fibers suggests progress in this area. It'd be great if someone would post the complete article.

An aside: Does this new bbs take longer to load? I'm also having trouble using html.
